The agriculture industry is experiencing the largest labor shortage in nearly a decade. The problem has worsened over the last four months with Immigration and Customs Enforcement detentions.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, agricultural employment has fallen by 155,000 workers since March. He said that reduction could lead to less supply and higher prices.
Stores looking for other sources to fill the void of lost production in the U.S. could turn to cheaper product from places like Mexico.
